About

Given that Sergei Prokofiev's Visions fugitives are central to this recording, 'Visions' is a fitting title for a CD devoted to works that differ greatly in style, atmosphere and artistic intent.

The works include the stately court music of Henry Purcell, the elegantly classical world of Maddalena Lombardini, the exalted passions of Guillaume Lekeu, the existential fears of Elizabeth Maconchy, the controlled romanticism of Mendelssohn and the musical iconoclasm of Prokofiev. 'Visions' introduces the listener to a constantly changing world and reflects the many forms that music for a string quartet can take.

The members of the EnAccord String Quartet bring not only an energetic persuasiveness but also superb technical skills and great musical perception to their performances.

They are winners of various important competitions and over their twenty-year career have built up a solid base of fans and critics alike.
